Police have apologised to two families after getting the teenage victims of a tragic car crash mixed up.

Officers believed that a 17-year-old girl and Trevor Wynn, also 17, were killed in a horror crash in Todwick Road, near Rotherham, on December 13.

Police delivered the devastating news to Trevor’s family shortly after.
